Population initialization routines.
To start the analysis an initial population is required. This will be
an array of size M x N, where M is the number of dimensions in the fitting
problem and N is the number of Markov chains.
Two functions are provided:
1. lhs_init(N, bounds) returns a latin hypercube sampling, which tests every
parameter at each of N levels.
2. cov_init(N, x, cov) returns a Gaussian sample along the ellipse
defined by the covariance matrix, cov. Covariance defaults to
diag(dx) if dx is provided as a parameter, or to I if it is not.
Additional options are random box: rand(M, N) or random scatter: randn(M, N).
